A/N: Review! This thing never stays high up on the list of fics, grar. Oh well. Please review!!!


Buffy kicked the vampire in the chest, but it sprung up again. She kicked it in the head and then punched it's stomach 3 times. She grabbed her stake and quickly dusted it.

"Buffy, we--"

"Spike, what are you doing here?!" she exclaimed angry.

"Can we please just talk?" he asked.

"No. I'm patrolling, get out of my way." Buffy pushed him aside.

"I love you! Why won't you be with me?"

"Because I can't love you the way you love me and I never will." She looked up at him with tears in her eys. "Why won't you just leave me alone?"

"Because I love you!"

"If you truly loved me you'd go away. Now." With that Buffy turned around and walked in the direction of her home.

"Buffy, I love you! Buffy!" Buffy didn't turn around. Spike found himself on the ground again, tears pouring from his eyes.


Angel hid back in the shadows. What had that been about? Spike loving Buffy? Impossible. Vampires couldn't love Slayers... except if they had souls of course. Spike must be insane, that was the only conclusion. Something must have driven him insane. But he couldn't dwell on it. He had to see Buffy. Her life depended on it.


"W-Willow," Tara said as Willow entered their room. "Where were you?"

"I was out with Oz," she said, smiling happily.

"Oh." Willow walked over to her and pulled her hair back from her face.

"You are ok with this right? Oz is just a friend now."

"But you still love him," Tara said.

"No! I mean of course I love him, but I'm not *in* love with him," Willow assured her.

"Yeah, but he loves you. And when he's with you I know, well... love makes you do weird things." Tara shrugged. "I just don't want to lose you again.

"Tara, that's incredibly sweet, but trust me. I don't want to lose you either. I still love you." Willow kissed Tara softly. "You're more important then he'll ever be."


Kick-punch-kick-kick-slam. Buffy struggled away from the vampire's grasp. Last thing she knew she had been walking home, and then she was on the ground. She grabbed the stake, ready to dust him, when suddenly she heard "Buffy no!"

She quickly turned to see a dark figure wrestling another vampire on the ground. A vampire that she hadn't known was there and was about to kill her. She returned to fighting the first vampire and promptly dusted him. The dark figure that had tackled the other vampire stood up.

"Angel?"
